Why I am supporting Starlight Children's Foundation

My Story

I am taking part in TdK Red Centre Challenge 2018 to raise much needed funds for Starlight Children's Foundation.
With four children of my own, this charity is very special to me. I am fortunate that all of my children have healthy and well balanced lifestyles but there are families that are not so fortunate.
I also sit on the GPT RAP Committee and this years Tour will raise funds for the Healthier Futures Initiative at Alice Springs Hospital with funds used to build a playroom that will create a welcoming space for Captain Starlight to help reduce fear, anxiety and boredom for children, especially in our First Nations Communities, that are undergoing medical procedures and health checks.
On that basis, their work is really important, and I want to do what I can to help. But there is only so much I can do on my own.
You can help too, by donating to my page. Any amount you can give makes a difference!
You can also support me by encouraging others to get involved, too. Please email the link to my page to your friends and family, or share it on social media.
Thank you for your generosity and support -- it means a lot to me. Together we can help Starlight Children's Foundation create the world we want to see.

About my cause: Starlight Children's Foundation

Starlight's mission is "To brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families".

Because sick kids are still kids at heart...

When a once-bright life becomes dulled by needles, hospital visits and painful treatments, Starlight helps sick kids forget their illness and re-discover the joy of childhood.

We know there's more to treatment than medicine. That's why since 1988, we've partnered with Australian health professionals to develop programs based on positive psychology principles that support the 'total care' of our children and teens.

Like the young people in our care, we are distinctly Australian. Our unique programs are the result of extensive research and respond to the specific needs of Aussie kids and teens.

We know what kids and their families are facing when serious illness or injury consumes their lives.

We disrupt the relentless cycle of pain and trauma and offer a welcome break so that sick kids can simply be kids.
